I bet the oil leak was from the gearbox selector shaft seal and the reason it's gone bang is because it's all leaked out and the box had ran dry, my old gearbox did exactly the same thing but at 70mph on a duel carriageway, bang and the sound of metal grinding and fusing together.
Fixed my haunted passenger door lock that randomly decided when it wanted to lock or unlock, turned out to be a loose connector so I jammed some card in to keep it in place and so far it's working.
Although whoever decided how the door cards should be attached need shooting, poppers yeah no...
On mine there's only 3mm of adjustment on the linkage, I went from having 1st the 5th and no reverse, to reverse to 4th with no 5th, there's only one spot where I have all gears, so i'd say the linkage still needs adjusting to get it right.
The lad driving was Jann Mardenbourough the winner of the first Playstation Nismo academy competition,
I watched the whole TV series where they took a load of gamers to see if they could transfer their Gran Tourismo skills to the track.
Horrible for the family of the person that was killed but...
Sounds like the springs creaking, definitely worth taking the wheels off and having a look at them,

I love these old cars they're just awesome, you can just see the thought process of the blokes that built them,
'Lets bolt an aero engine to some girders and put some wheels on it and see how long it takes until someone dies',
There not nuts on the back, they're round things welded to the chassis that snap when you try to remove the bolts,
i've taken to zip tying generic hangers in the thing because mine won't come off.
I'll send an email to the film maker and inform him of his error.
I never knew there was a group S in the making, as if they needed a more hardcore class than group B,
I can only imagine how insane that would have been.
Most people just used different coloured electrical tape, but if you're using paint use a plastic primer first then spray colour over the top,
the grill already has a rough surface so doesn't really need sanding.
